Newcastle gave Arsenal their first Premier League defeat of the season with a battling 1-0 victory, thanks to a controversial second-half goal by Anthony Gordon at a rain-lashed St. James' Park. Eddie Howe's Magpies, who are unbeaten in their last seven league outings, climbed to sixth in the table and only four points behind Arsenal, who lost ground on Manchester City and could fall further behind Tottenham on Monday night.
